Well, that's one dead transfer box then!
Growing crunchy noises on a busy A road (A34), nowhere to stop, not even a muddy grass verge, in the dark, loadsa lorries, terrific! Limped into a built up area of B/stoke & crawled unner me truck:
An actual crack in the transfer box casing! Yes, it might have run dry, when did I check me fluids, only 2 months ago, 3 at most? (- in other words 3.5K miles or so & on a Landy that is new to me, pillock!) Yes, I might have saved it if I hadn't tried to get a few miles back to a built up area..........hmm, possibly, but I might also have been hit by a bigger truck.
Oh well, that's expensive then! Call to Keith Gott in the morning.
& oh, the shame of it, back on an AA flatbed, soggy after a couple of hours wait................BUT the good bit, yep there was one. If you're going to break down, do it next to a keeeeebab van.
I've just had not a large, not an extra large, but a jumbo doner. Any bigger and it would've been a sheep with a pitta on it's head (or 'role play' to Yella ).
So, an expensive, totally pony night only rescued by a top kebab!
Note to self: Even if it's really, REALLY cold and wet out, don't put off checking me fluids in future!
